McKenna Farms will host our fifth annual Derby Day fundraiser on May 7th. More than 300 guests will enjoy a BBQ dinner and drinks while watching the Kentucky Derby live at our beautiful horse farm. The evening includes a silent auction, hat contest, live music, and riding demonstrations by kids participating in our therapeutic riding program.  

Proceeds will benefit McKenna Farms Therapy Services, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide innovative therapeutic programs and resources for children and young adults with special needs and their families. 

Over the past 20 years, McKenna Farms has become a well-known and well-loved community asset, serving children with a variety of developmental delays, disabilities, and neurological disorders, including autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, and genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. Today, more than 500 children visit the farm each week for physical therapy, speech, therapy and occupational therapy, as well as equine-assisted activities including hippotherapy and therapeutic riding. Additional programs include summer camps, a Twinkle Toes adaptive dance program, a Farm Fitness Club, and parent support groups and workshops.
